Hi Tom,

This is Howard T., W A 9 Y B W, the new kid on the block.

What version of JAWS are you using?

Also, where do I get a copy of the loging software in question?  I would be 
interested in checking out the problem as I am getting ready to get back on 
the air after more than 20 years and may find this software useful.
